" glieyitfllmewn that I, MELVIN T. STONE, a

#citizedof-the United States, residing at San 'ghntonioyim the county of Bexar and .State Sci-{Texaaehave invented new and useful 11h rovement's in Hydrocarbon-Burners, lot

. which the-following is a specification.

The invention'relates to burners, and lmore particularly to the class of. hydrocarbon 10 burners.

:The primary object of the in ventionis the provision of a burner wherein "kerosene can be used as a fuel which is generated-into gas for heating purposes, the burner being of novel construction so as to enable the proper feed of the fuel therethrough and also to obviate the formation of carbon, which results in the clogging of the burner. Another object of the invention is the 2 provision of a burner wherein the gas will be generated quicker and more perfectly,

and also which can be easily cleaned so as to. avoid the clogging of the burner.

A further object of the invention is the 2 provision of a burner wherein the fuel is caused to spread throughout the largest possible surface, thereby allowing it to be more rapidly converted into gas than would be the case if the oil were fed. in a column thereto. 7

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a burner wherein the oil and gas are caused to trarel a maximum distance through a flame before it strikes the outlet therefor, thus superheating and assuring perfect generation or the converting of the fuel into gas and producing a more intense heat.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a burner which is extremely simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and eflicient in its operation, and inexpensive in manufacture.

With these and other ob ects in View, the

The induction pipe l2 is ClISPOSGCl parallel with the branch pipe 16, the latter being arranged beneath the coil- 10 so that when a flame issues from the port 18 it will play upon the coil for heating the liquid fuel thereln tovaporize the same for The induction pipe 12 has fitted thereon a spreader head 19 against which plays the flame from the flame port 18 for the spreading of the said flame 8 throughout the area of the coil 10' during the use of the burner.

Threaded in the induction pipe 12, and communicating therewith, is an injector nipple 20 to which is connected a liquid feed pipe 21, the same bein connected with a suitable pressure air tarilr for delivering oil into the induction pipe 12 whereby it may be vaporized into gas.

Arranged within the coil 10, and extended through the induction pipe 12, branch 14, and branch pipe 16, is a coiled Wire 22, through the center of which extends a single wire forming a core 23, these wires being designed tov distribute the oil which is under pressure, the center wire 23 being designed as a lead wire for the oil, while the coiled wire 22 serves to spread the oil out thinly within the burner structure so as to have the same travelover a maximum surface, thereby allowing it to be more rapidly converted into gas when heated by the flame at the branch pipe 16 of the said burner. Furthermore, the arrangementof the wires 22 and 23 in the burner minimizes the possi bility of the formation of carbon therein so as to avoid the choking of the burner thereby. Also on separati g the coil from the inwill clean. the pipes to remove any carbon which might have forined-therein.

From the foregoing is thought that the construction and manner of operation of the device will be clearly understood, and there- [fore a more extended explanation has been omitted. 7
